Chapter 197 Epic Tier Quest

If all the maps in Fate were said to have different beautiful sceneries, then the sunset in Hidden Treasure Gulf would be the areen plants, and the bustling town by the seaside proclaimed the beauty of the map to any visitors It was serene and beautiful, which was a perfect place to settle down Ye Ci loved the scenery in the Hidden Treasure Gulf

This beautiful place, however, was destined to be the place of sorrow for some Purity Essence was one such unfortunate individual Perhaps, even after a long while, he would refuse to set foot in Hidden Treasure Gulf despite its scenery

Although Ye Ci was not looking at Purity Essence, she could feel his sorrowful gaze on her His stareher head, Ye Ci looked right into the deep, dark eyes of Purity Essence He was shtly, but it was a smile full of sorrow

The entire ordeal was perhaps very painful for Purity Essence, but Ye Ci did not regret her actions Human life was short, and nobody had the time to worry about somebody else’s joy or sorrow Ye Ci merely had to do what needed to be done, and what she did, she would not regret

Ye Ci, who raised her eyebrows, appearing to be calm In reality, she was indeed calm At least, she ay calmer than Purity Essence

She spoke in a soft voice, “What? Is there so weird onate on the rock, he , he shifted his gaze somewhere else

With Purity Essence reaze, Ye Ci shifted her attention back to fishing The tense atmosphere between them had to be broken and Ye Ci had taken the first step, but she did not want to be too meddlesome as well This hy she opted to wait and observe Purity Essence quietly

After all, Purity Essence was noDespite Ye Ci’s desire to acquire such a talented commander, she still needed to secure his loyalty She did not wish for the person she spent socorpse, it would be a huge loss for her

Purity Essence was very anxious as the silence continued, his thoughts were in awhile, and spoke up slowly, “Gongzi You”

Ye Ci snorted as an indication that she has heard his words She was not overly enthusiastic, but not overly cold It was as if she was a stranger waiting for an answer froer

It was fortunate that she had put up such a demeanor

Purity Essence was able to calm hizi You was overly cordial, he would probably feel that he was in trouble

“I lost” These tords were so corader would be able to read and write them Those same tords, however, were also very rare For someone to sincerely voice out those tords… It had to be harder than walking to the moon

Such case was especially true for Purity Essence With his arrogance, his pride, and his fir those tords to Gongzi You was harder than killing himself

But… Purity Essence squeezed those words out in the end

Ye Ci was surprised She did not expect Purity Essence to concede the result of this bet that seeness to admit his mistake also came as a surprise to her Ye Ci was impressed After all, not everyone could look squarely at their s Even Ye Ci herself… Even if she was a reincarnator… Sheherself to achieve such a feat

Especially when it was done in front of soe was required

However, despite her own thoughts, Ye Ci did not betray any hint of emotion She maintained a calm and detached voice, “Oh I see”

Ye Ci’s indifference, however, infuriated Purity Essence His voice was laced with grief and so else to say? Look at how correct you are! You’ve won the bet! Aren’t you going to say anything?”

Another fish was fished up by Ye Ci She hung a bait on the hook and absent-mindedly cast the line out “Then what do you want me to say?”

Purity Essence was lost for words In truth, even he did not knohat sort of answer he was expecting fro hizi You was actually innocent She did nothing wrong but was dragged into this controversy When he put hizi You did nother na

“To be frank with you, I don’t really care ,” Ye Ci remained indifferent, “So… I think there’s no need for you to be angry”

“You don’t really care? I’ve leftme that you don’t care?” Purity Essence was just like a bohtest spark

“What? Do you still think that you’ll never leave the guild, or that your friendship with your brothers in the guild would not be ruined if you did not bet withcold rage as she stared at Purity Essence, and her sharp gaze stabbed into him like a sharpened knife

Purity Essence, anted to reluctantly ad himself to speak up It was as if all his words were stuck in his throat Even after a long while, he did not utter a single word He knew that Ye Ci was correct Even without the bet, he would have a fall out with his friends sooner or later and be forced out of Drunken Melancholy anyways if the situation continued

“I said nothing wrong when I told you that I don’t care about the result of the bet I ad you, as you’re a very capable commander ‘Upwards Ho!’ needs a battle commander like you However, I don’t care whether you want to join ‘Upwards Ho!’ or not After all, if you joined us because of a mere bet, you are of no use to us” Ye Ci narrowed her eyes at Purity Essence There were things that she needed to make clear to Purity Essence She hated to be threatened by anyone, which hy she couldn’t show her weakness, even if it was to Purity Essence, who she looked up to

“Besides, there are a lot of players in Fate The Eastern Continent alone is hoe number of players Even if I have my eye on you today, it doesn’t mean that somebody better than you will not appear torowing colder, “Don’t blauild on me It’s not in my nature to carry sozi You?

Purity Essence shivered So this is Gongzi You? Callous, relentless, and calculative That hy people like her were said to be people ould place benefit above all else It could be said to be her nature, or perhaps there was really not even a sliver of warmth in her heart?

Purity Essence felt that he was the exact opposite of Gongzi You The thing he held dear thehiies clashed, it ended with the cruzi You too pragmatic?

He did not have an answer, nor did he have the desire for an answer

It had always been like this People ere sentiive thematic on the other hand, tend to be calculative and tactful They were also known by another name: businessmen

“What do you mean?” Purity Essence was exhausted He had siame… But why did it cause so much trouble for him?

“I’ll alelcouild is yours” Ye Ci casually cast another bait into the water, “You’re right I am different froo to any lengths to do sos me benefit You, however, are a sentimental person I will never be able to understand your way of thinking This is why I’ll leave the decision to you”

Purity Essence appeared distracted as if he was thinking about so I need to make clear” Ye Ci turned her head around and looked at Purity Essence with a piercing gaze, “As soain that will place e If you join ‘Upwards Ho!’ while retaining loyalty towards your old guild, then it’s better for you to not join uild

Purity Essence still looked distracted, as if he had not heard her wordscontinued appearing distracted as if he had not heard Ye Ci However, Ye Ci knew that he had, in fact, heard everything

Ye Ci could not predict the thoughts of someone like Purity Essence If she forced a decision upon hiht spell disaster for her in the future If she left the decision- in his hands, however, the outcome would definitely be different

Of course, Ye Ci did this under several conditions

Firstly, Purity Essence already had a fallout with the members of Drunk Melancholy, which uild Secondly, once he was associated with Gongzi You, no suild would want Purity Essence to join theuilds would not have an interest in a nobody like hiuilds, it was aluish hiaamer, his priority was to earn h to sustain hi his tiuild, his income would be badly affected It would be impossible for him to survive without a team

No matter how sentimental a person was, eaa to feed themselves People like this could not afford to say no to money

Purity Essence’s only option at this point was to join ‘Upwards Ho!’ Despite leaving the decisionto Purity Essence, Ye Ci had already left him no real option

There was no detour, there was only one route that led to his final destination

The only thing Ye Ci needed to do was to wait When Purity Essence realized that the only real option he had was to join ‘Upwards Ho!’, he would willingly join the guild on his own accord

With her goal obtained and a bountiful haul of fish, Ye Ci no longer had a need to stay in Hidden Treasure Gulf She stood up, dusted her shoes and said sincerely to Purity Essence, “I hope we’ll ain someday” With that, she juet too far, Ye Ci heard a shout, “Hey! Gongzi You!’

Ye Ci stopped She turned around and faced Purity Essence, who had beco his hand excitedly at Ye Ci

“I’ve thought it through!”

Purity Essence cupped his hands against hisas idiotic as Purity Essence and shout back at hihly realistic VRMMORPG, there was still soame that was i syste to say?” Ye Ci remained calm She already knew the outcome of the situation, and therefore was not as excited as Purity Essence She sent a privatethat they could employ such a means of communication

“……” Purity Essence did not take the hint He continued shouting at Ye Ci on the rock But with the belloind and their distance, Ye Ci could not hear a single word

A confounded Ye Ci stared silently at Purity Essence She realized how idiotic of a person he could be, his intelligence level would drop to an unprecedented low if he was excited Is poaching hile word, Ye Ci sent another e to Purity Essence, “Just talk toyou said over here!”

The shouting stopped, and Ye Ci received a private h! I’ll join ‘Upwards Ho!’”

“Oh” Ye Ci replied caluild invitation to Purity Essence
